Mornin' y'all -

I'm in vintage Gucci No3, 80s edt ...have a good one!

Science is not only compatible with spirituality, it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual...Carl Sagan

Happy Saturday everyone! I'm wearing Ambre Sultan today. It's another college football TV day, Jayhawks are away so I'm not traveling to Lawrence. I put a breakfast casserole in the crock pot last night and have ingredients all ready for Bloody Marys to have for the early games. Hubby has some pork on the smoker for pulled pork sandwiches for later. I LOVE fall football days!

Hi all,

Had a lovely long lie-in this morning, made french toast with bacon for brunch, & did some light chores today. Mr teardrop is making fajitas, & l've just poured my first glass of merlot for this evening. Planning a nice cosy night in tonight, while the rain pours down outside.

Vintage Samsara EDT suits the mood perfectly. Cheers!

RHM - I love that L'Artisan. I admire a well done, non-traditional eaux-type cologne. That one just smells like a day-at-the-spa in a bottle to me.
Evangeline - those odd Gucci bottles were so cool...back before Gucci went all commercialized-horrible-fragrances. That scent is super-animalic on my skin...embarrassingly so. Still...it's chypre accord is fantastic.

Sharing the house, with RHM in:

Timbuktu by L'Artisan Parfumeur (from a sample)

I thought this stuff always smelled like Dzonghka but today, after having smelled it for the 1st time in several years, I can now discern the differences between them. This one is much more acrid, the incense - less tart & pickle-y. Nonetheless, I wonder what my sillage smells like. It's such an odd scent. Perfect for a cool windy Saturday afternoon running around doing chores.

This afternoon a friend's coming over for movies, lunch and hanging out - maybe I'll sample some fragrances while I watch the movie, I always find it a great opportunity to sniff your wrist and really concentrate on a sample.

Mike, enjoy your afternoon, and I hope you get some sniffing in!

That one is one that I still am a bit afraid of, but have my sample out and will do it soon.

Another vanilla, per my trend these days - Profumum Acqua e Zucchero, which is a sweet berry and vanilla frag. Enjoying my sample today, and finished it.
